@werawelt @chpietsch it would be great to see them here, though I think the vast majority of attendees isn't on the fediverse.
Thinking back to what @alineblankertz said in their talk, I think one of the key insights is that alternatives to big tech platforms still play the game of capitalism. I think that also applies to social media - the way forward may be socialization (rather than nationalization) of big tech to exert democratic control, rather than building new networks from the ground up.

@Namnatulco Thank you for resharing here! I share reservations about some tools and shortcuts and I can only repeat: We are self-organised and did what we could with the resources and expertise we had. I personally did not want to take on “building a dedicated fediverse account” because I was involved in too many other things. @werawelt @chpietsch Don’t wait for anyone to come, maybe follow the hashtag #cablesofresistance I will continue to share.
